U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the aging adult population is rising, while younger groups are shrinking. From 2020 through 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, whereas those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the previous century, the older adult population in the U.S. has increased significantly, expanding from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.

A 2021 study found that nearly half of Americans in this age group, about 28 million, will likely need long-term services and supports, and projections indicate more than one-third may require nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
